She N Shy

She N Shy is located at D-53/71, right in Lohrani Gali. It’s just off Luxa Road in the Rama Pura area of Varanasi. If you’re looking for us, we are near the Yogi Lodge. Lohrani Gali is one of those narrow lanes where you have to watch your step. It’s a very old part of the city, and our shop has that same lived-in feel. The walls aren't perfectly straight and the door sometimes sticks when the weather is damp. We’ve got our mirrors and our chairs squeezed into the space we have. Living and working in 221010 means you get used to the constant noise of the city and the smell of incense from the temples nearby. We spend our time here doing what we do, mostly working with people who live in the neighborhood. It’s a simple setup. There’s a small bench for people to wait on, and we usually have a radio playing somewhere in the back. We don’t have a big staff or any fancy equipment. It’s just us, some scissors, some thread, and the usual beauty supplies. When the sun goes down, the lights in the Gali come on and it feels like a different place. We pack up our things, sweep the floor one last time, and lock up the heavy metal shutter for the night. We’ve been here a long time now and we know most of the people who walk past our door every day.
